O.E.C-Temple supercharged 500cc Austin 7-engined motorcycle - Tony Griffiths - 05-06-2024
Brooklands record breaker - an O.E.C-Temple supercharged 500cc Austin 7-engined motorcycle. No longer in existence, it was dismantled before being finished but a replica (from original photographs) is being built by Devos Hans of HD-Classic in Belgium; he hopes to have it ready for Beaulieu. The frame and forks are complete (and of original manufacture) and, for the engine, he's had a new crankshaft, rods and pistons of the correct size made.

I noticed that too; it prompted me to post the photographs!

You beat me to it, having seen the ad on the front of the VSCC mag, I was intending to photo it and put it here. Now I have learned all I need to know, for which many thanks.

Those clever OEC front forks will be perfect for a speed record attempt, you could ride the original bike hands off with ease, so stability shouldn’t be an issue…what a fantastic project!
